Fun fact: Aspen Grove was not, as was believed in the 1800s, written in the 1800s. It was written in 2017, and nobody in the 1800s ever sang it or, indeed, so much as conceived of its possible future existence.
Lyrics
You and I were two, but when we parted
I swear I didn't walk away as one
Not half of two, more like half a piece of paper that never thought the other half could run
So as I leave here I'll mend, and I'll learn to pretend that I'm glad those days are gone
But it's your name that lingers on my lips as into the world I go
And at night I'll lay and dream of you, waiting in the aspen grove back home
Hey, I don't know if you can hear me
But if you can I only want to say
That every day you'll get up and walk a little further
And time will carry all of this away
And when the last of the bruises have healed, it'll feel like the dawn of a brand new day
But it's your name that lingers on my lips as into the world I go
And at night I'll lay and dream of you, waiting in the aspen grove back home
And every step takes me further away from the things I regret
With every breath I'll swear that I did what I thought was the best at the time
But my hindsight is blind,
So I'll trust this heart of mine
But it's your name that lingers on my lips as into the world I go
And at night I'll lay and dream of you, waiting in the aspen grove back home
